can any member advise of the proceedure flying from manchester to dalaman via plane change at istanbul,
we are flying with turkish airlines into istanbul the have to wait 90 mins and catch a domestic flight to dalaman,
what happens when we land at istanbul ?.
do our bags get transfered auto matic to the other flight,
do we go to passport control and walk to the domestic terminal [ we have valid visas].
do we land at the domestic [ old terminal at dalaman ].
where do we collect our bags at dalaman.
our booking agent is no help at all hence my request for info..
thanks in advance
we did this before the new dalaman airport was opened, so cant help you there, but im sure someone will know
I'm not saying we wouldn't ever travel via Istanbul again, but we were told when we complained on our return that the flights are not connecting (even though Expedia sold us them as connecting flights and said we would only have to go to the transit lounge, not a change of terminal!) and that you need to allow at least a 2 hour gap between these flights.
Good luck!
It works well, as long as you depart the UK on time and there are no long queues at passport control in Istanbul. We could have taken an earlier flight from the UK and wish now that we had changed to give us a 4 hour gap between the flights. If you have the chance to change to an earlier flight, it may be worth doing.
